St Vincent De Paul - Chartwell Store

The Mission of the St Vincent de Paul Society in New Zealand is deepen the Catholic Faith of its members to go out into our nation to heighten awareness of Jesus Christ.
We do this by sharing ourselves who we are and what we have with the poor on a person-to-person basis.

We seek to cooperate in shaping a more just and compassionate New Zealand community, and to share our resources with our twinned countries. Our preferred option in this mission of service is to work with the poor in development, by respecting their dignity, sharing our hope, and encouraging them to take control of their own destiny.

The St Vincent de Paul Society provides services to the community and in particular the poor, the isolated, the lonely the sick and the socially or financially disadvantaged. The objective is to provide a first class service to clients and customers at all times irrespective of religion, gender, race and national origin.

The St Vincent de Paul Society relies heavily on its staff and volunteers to support Vincentians in their special visitation work, and it is with this mutual commitment that St Vincent de Paul Society will continue to provide for people who are poor or otherwise disadvantaged with innovative and caring assistance.

The New Zealand Council whose members comprise of representatives from throughout the country governs the St Vincent de Paul Society.
